“Happy Birthday Baby!” Talk about Russian Doll on Netflix

This is definitely a show that I'm sad will continue - it would be perfect as a self-contained single season.

I think so too, but all parties involved seem to be hinting at more to come.

This destroyed me, like properly sobbing at the end and for a good while after.

And Sunday night was the wildest night of the week in Glasgow for a good twelve years, because - Optimo! which was a pool of a few thousand people, 400 or so at a time and many of whom went every week, or almost every week and went to work on Monday too.

Often straight to work after a post-club house party.

I got told in Western Australia that Sunday piss-ups are the main thing there because "if you're going to be hungover it's better on someone else's time and not your own."

having not lived in NYC for a number of years and having just recently seen this, it was sort of a weird sensation walking around LES last night, niagara, Tompkins sq park etc.

Raymond, I don't think going raw (sex sans condoms) is a lethal choice. Not in the short run. It is just a symptom of her personality: she avoids control, is wild, doesn't care if she dies (as opposed to the guy, he wants to be in control all the time)

I thought this was a fantastic show. It's clearly about herself. Semi-autobiographical. Told my husband this show is so me: the way it works even better (or adds another layer) if you know the actors. (My husband doesn't know nor cares ab the ppl behind it. So he "misses" that. Not that it's essential.) I was so hyper after the ending. Thom told me: just stop, you make me feel stupid. :-(

talking to a friend of mine about this last night (who i was walking around with in east village!) we agreed that the casting, in particular the casting of the MEN, was absolutely incredible.

i think this deserves a rewatch I absolutely loved it and i'd like to see what i pick up on a second viewing

I'm gen in love with Natasha Lyonne. Does that mean I have to watch OITNB? That's something I never expected to have to or want to do.

I'm fully on board with the crew that hopes this doesn't develop into another season or seasons. It's just a perfect thing as it is.

But I want more Lyonne.

The first few seasons of OITNB are genuinely great, and Lyonne is one of the best characters in it.

I watched a few eps of OINTB but didn't like it. The only other things I've seen her in are American Pie 1 & 2, But I'm a Cheerleader, and Party Monster. What's some good stuff she's been in?

Slums of Beverly Hills

^this

Detroit Rock City

slums of beverly hills is amazing with an unbelievable cast: lyonne, marissa tomei, alan arkin, david krumholtz, jessica walters, kevin corrigan, carl reiner.

this fuckin’ ruled, wanna watch it all over again

I liked and didn't like this in about equal measure--liked it more towards the end. Nice ending, especially Love. The actress who played Beatrice reminded me of Diahnne Abbott.

I thought you meant Diane Abbott for a moment there

There's another dia(ah)ne abbott? Does the not uk labour party have a twitter account lok

Also, "Beatrice", lol screenwriters

I didn't know about the politician Diane Abbott till last night. The actress (King of Comedy, Taxi Driver, De Niro's ex):

Someone on Twitter suggested that Natasha Lyonne would make a great Columbo and she said she'd be up for it. That would be quite the thing.

that... actually makes a lot of sense, twitter user otm

I should mention my favourite, most timely joke: it involved the word "problematic."

"a very tough lady, who looked like if Andrew Dice Clay and the little girl from Brave made a baby"?

That was the beginning of the joke--it was the second half I loved, the thing she said as an aside.

Right, I gotcha.

Just finished bingeing this - perfect show. Loved the entire aesthetic - costuming, staging, music - and loved Natasha and everyone else. Loved that is was fun and dark and not dragged out and not too heavy.

Mine, kinder? If so I thought I came up with a good joke but may have actually forgotten that darraghmac came up with it!

I remembered it being a deems display name but can only find cutty using it (in 2010 so ripe for a resurgence!)

haha!

i feel as if i may finally adopt an air of justified injured innocence tyvm
